East Noble Regional

Battling windy conditions at Noble Hawk Golf Course Friday morning, the Warsaw girls golf team ended the season with a sixth place finish shooting a 354. The Lady Tigers finished 24 shots behind regional champions Northridge.
There was a silver lining to the loss though, as Warsaw senior Abbey Peterson qualified for the state finals as an individual for the second straight season. Peterson shot a 77 to snag one of the three at large spots available. Wawasee’s Ava Couture was also competing at regionals after advancing as an individual out of sectionals, finishing with a 102.
The state finals will be held Friday and Saturday at Prairie View Golf Club in Carmel.
